Hero ia iresh bii Of evidence bearing
directly 90 the question a. 10 vhsi poor
man may accomplish on The hill farms q
ydmonl Western papers and western
men never tire Of telling stories Of the pos
sibiliiies of their country. Eastern papers
and eastern men may fairly claim an oe
casional hearing. The bee, part Of The fol.
loving story Is that Il Is true We could
name the man" were IL wise 10 do so.
Some % or 80 years ago there was
young man here 10 Caledonia county who
Was member OF . family Of paupers, bis
father, mother, two sisters and brother
besides himself we're living in town poor
house This young man was not robust
but hired out on the farms 10 the neigh
borhood as he was able and as opportunity
offered. aud 10 course OF time saved small
sum Of money. Going away from the vii
lage be bargained for an old hilliarm on
the back roads and removed from "ciyili
zation" The cost though seeming large
to him was comparatively triaing. The
first payment well nigh exhausted his
small store OF savings. while mort
gage was given for the balance OF the
purchase money. So, it will be seen. this
man begsn life very much as a backwoods'
man in the west might begin. He struck
int the woods and made clearing as
backwoodsmen do; worked early and late
as backwoodsmen do; built for himself
modest home, mere hut as backwoods-
men do; lived in the plainest way possible
las hsckw oodsmen do.
By slow degrees the house was improved
and one by one be took bis parents, sisters
and brothers from the poor house, contin-
uing his hard work and indulging in none
but the barest necessities Of life. la few |
years the farm was his own, not q very
grand affair at best, but still comfortable
New England home. Meanwhile it may
be incidentally mentioned. our hero had
taken unto himself wife and WAS rearing
a family. Time passed Oh, IS it has q
habit Of doing. and bard work and plain
living resulted in still further accumula
tons. To make long story short, this
man, today not old, never physically ro-
bust and not above the average as regards
mental ability, is q thrifty citizen, living
in his own home, and having little spare
money, which on occasion he loans to his
less fortunate neighbors, no doubt at re-
munerative rates OF interest; while the
borrowers, very likely, are men who pur-
pose stopping in this worn out country
only until they can see an opportunity to
sell out and go west.
As we have already said, the above is bit
OF practical experience What has been
done may be done Ia this county and in
every county 10 this state there are just
such opportunities awaiting men who are
not afraid OF hard work. There are few
who start under more adverse circum-
stances than the hero Of this sketch. His
experience furnishes on unanswerable ar
gument in refutation of the oft-repeated
statement that poor farmer cannot in
these later years get living in Vermont.
Let him adopt western methods including
the deprvations and hard work incident to
a frontier life and verify he will have his
reward Culetloaiun

One Of the most prominent grocers IN
Geneva, N. Y, Simnel Wsrtb, says be
cannot get small cheese enough to Gil the
demand. Ia Holland probably the most
popular cheese made is the Edam, which
is round and weighs two Kilograms, or
four aud four-tenths pounds. Small fam
lilies do not care to bny forty or fifty
pound cheese at time. on account OF the
difficulty Of keeping il fresh until used.
Nor is it pleasant to buy slice OF the
grocer, which is not very appetizing alter
having been rolled up in paper and
handled. Making small cheese, weighing
four or five pounds each we believe will
not only increase the local demand, but
also return larger profit to the maker.

Skilled Farm Laborers.

No idea has done more to repress farm
ing progress than the idea that farm
laborer need not be skilled, that brute
strength is the main requisite. This never
was true, aud is less so now than ever be-
fore since improved machinery has to be
handled. But even in handling such old
fashioned implements as the axe aud the
hoe efficiency depends as much upon skill
as upon muscle. 1t is by no means the
largest or strongest hired man who will
do the most work in day. And when
help is hired that is entirely unused to our
methods Of farming its inexperience
greatly detracts from its value. The truth
is that farming is trade that has to be
learned if the workers at it would be effec-
tive. 1t requires knowledge and skill in
far larger number Of things than most
other kinds OF business 10 fact it is
never fully learned. The oldest aud most
successful farmer is generally the most
ready to learn something new about his
business, ard it is usually this habit
which he has kept up through bis life that
las given him his success. That farmer
shows only his limited idea OF bis tnsi
ness who thinks thu. hr knows so much
about il thai he caunot learn anything
more. AMI though skill 10 form help is
desirable. it is sometimts better in rongb
work to have green hand, willing TO do
as be is told and to learn, than one self
conceited with the idea that be knows
everything already. Much depends upon
employers. Some OF them are so concei'-
ed that few hired men are willing to try to
learn from them
